People of different faiths came together on January 12 to participate in a “sarva dharma sambhava” “ a multi-faith prayer ceremony “ at Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh, where anti-citizenship law protesters had been demonstrating. The inter-faith ceremony had a traditional Hindu-style “hawan” and chants of Sikh “kirtan.” The participants read out the Preamble of the Indian Constitution and took an oath to preserve its “socialist, secular” values.
“Scriptures from the Gita, the Bible, the Quran were read and Gurbani held. Then the Preamble of the Constitution was also read out by people from varying faiths who are supporting this movement,” Syed Taseer Ahmed, one of the organizers of the protest, told news agency PTI. The crowd swelled to thousands by evening.
